In the CLI
To enable support for 803.az EEE, access the command-line interface in config mode and issue the following
command:
ap enet-link-profile <profile> dot3az
Associate a new Ethernet Interface link profile with an AP wired port profile using the following command:
ap wired-port-profile <profile>
enet-link-profile <profile>
AP LEDs
AP LEDs can be configured in two modes: normal and off. In normal mode, the AP LEDs will light as expected.
When the mode is set to off, all of the LEDs on the affected APs are disabled.
In the WebUI
An AP system profile’s LED operating mode affects LEDS on all APs using that profile.
This option is available on the W-AP105 access points.
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Advanced Services> All Profiles page.
2. Select the AP tab and then select the AP system profiles tab.
3. Select the AP system profile you want to modify.
4. Locate the LED operating mode parameter.
5. From the drop-down list, select off.
6. Click Apply.
In the CLI
Use the ap system-profile command to disable LEDs for all APs using a particular system profile.
(host) (config)# ap system-profile <profile-name> led-mode {normal | off}
Use the ap-leds command to make the LEDs on a defined set of APs either blink or display in the currently
configured LED operating mode. Note that if the LED operating mode defined in the AP’s system profile is set
to “off”, then the normal parameter in the ap-leds command will disable the LEDs. If the LED operating mode
in the AP system profile is set to “normal” then the normal parameter in this command will allow the LEDs light
as usual.
(host) (config)# ap-leds {all | ap-group <ap-group> | ap-name <ap-name> | ip-addr <ip address>
| wired-mac <mac address>} {global blink|normal}|{local blink|normal}
Suppressing Client Probe Requests
The anyspot client probe suppression feature decreases network traffic by suppressing probe requests from
clients attempting to locate and connect to other known networks. By reducing the frequency at which these
messages are sent, this feature frees up network resources and improves network performance.
When an AP is configured to use this feature, the anyspot AP radio hides its configured ESSID in beacons, and
compiles a list of other ESSIDs from detected neighboring APs. If the client sends a probe request without a
specified ESSID, the anyspot AP will respond with a preconfigured ESSID.
When a client searches for a preferred network, that client sends the SSID of the preferred network in the
probe request. The anyspot AP checks to see if there is a neighboring AP using that ESSID that can respond the
client's request. If no matching network is found, the anyspot AP sends a response to the client using the SSID
